Around '97-'98, everyone was meeting at the carp.net chat room, Oatmeal Jack created a chat room for the catfishermen.
Yahoo group was also formed, and someone(Uncle Sci-Fi?) started up a forum/webpage. At the time, I was only on the chatrooms.
Oatmeal shut down the chat rooms, and I lost contact with everyone.
Over the next few years, I did find the forums again, but either didn't bookmark or the address changed.

Thanks Will! Paul has a video on the history of the BOC. I was just bored the other night and searching old threads and was wondering what the first one said. I'll find that video and post it for you. Thanks again!
